WWE WrestleMania 1 Stars - Where Are They Now?

6. 'Cowboy' Bob Orton

At WrestleMania I, €˜Cowboy€™ Bob Orton was the manager of €˜Rowdy€™ Roddy Piper and €˜Mr. Wonderful€™ Paul Orndorff. That match featured many wild moments, including a major brawl between all four participants, with Orton inadvertently hitting Orndorff and costing his team the match. Orton€™s most recent major appearance in WWE was as part of his son Randy€™s major feud with the Undertaker in 2005. Bob would interfere on his son€™s behalf on several occasions, and even wrestled in a Hell in a Cell match alongside his son at Armageddon 2005. After that, he has made sporadic appearances for WWE for special €˜old school€™ shows. Bob Orton (Jr.) never formally retired, and continues to wrestle to this day, despite having begun his career and 1972. Considering how much money his son Randy€™s making as a top WWE Superstar, €˜Cowboy€™ Bob€™s most likely still wrestling because he still has such immense passion for the business.
